Anthony Weiner could use some help right about now, a day following news that his chronic sexting didn’t end when he resigned from Congress in 2011.

Enter James Van Der Beek, the actor best known for his work on the long-running drama Dawson’s Creek. Only Van Der Beek’s “defense” is simply another way to mock Weiner for his sexual high jinks.

Consider this line of tweets from the actor:

#InDefenseofAnthonyWeiner Every time he hears his secretary answer his phone, he’s reminded of the thing he REALLY wants to DM somebody.

#InDefenseofAnthonyWeiner If he keeps his phone in his pocket, there’s always a camera just INCHES from his junk…

#InDefenseofAnthonyWeiner Writing legislation offered ZERO creative outlet for his talent at hot, sexy prose.

#InDefenseofAnthonyWeiner He’s not Ryan Braun.

#InDefenseofAnthonyWeiner If you come up with the name “Carlos Danger”… What, are you supposed to NOT use it to sext strangers?
